Great place to unwind
Loved the feel of this place. Everyone we dealt with seemed on board with making this a successful resort and making every guest feel welcomed. Loved the music that was pipeded throughout the resort, a nice mix with a jazzy mix that provides a vacation soundtrack. Fishing didn't pan out but we enjoyed ourselves despite that due to the ambiance of the place.

I can not give enough stars. Our stay was top notch. Staff is woderful and accommodating. Everything was clean, beds are comfortable. From the pool to the 2 bars and lake you only have to walk maybe 40 ft. Huge bonfire on the beach once it got dark, drinks with the owner. How could anyone ask for more. Highly recommend!!!! We will be back!

I love the location of this property I have been coming here for 8 years with my family every year multiple times BUT the owners have changed and the new owners are controlling and follow you around, (The woman specifically) We had a friend come over for a birthday party and he was handicapped and the owner said I hope you blow yourself up because he was standing by the grill and she got in his face and asked him who are you here with not knowing he was handicapped she screamed in his face ( ive never met anyone so rude and disrespectful) everyone saw it. Care more about making money then actually providing good customer service. Very impersonable. They have changed everything check out time is earlier now and they came up with a million rules it doesn't have the original feel and family like atmosphere. Additions and rules for there own personal gain. You will be bothered and watched all day. Pay a high price for a day and half so I would expect to be left alone. We always clean the room extra spotless and respectful to property! I think there is potential if they let people get their moneys worth and back off a little and just be respectful and kind! very simple.!!!!!
It was nice to relax after an all day/two day fishing competition on the lake. Comfortable bedding and cabin with all the basic amenities. One area of improvement would be the up-keep of the docks including brighter lighting and overall condition. Just a fresh coat of paint would do wonders! Will return again!

We had a great place. There was so much room. The full kitchen was so nice. We used it a lot and invited local friends over for drinks & dinner. It was nice to all be able to sit around the table. We brought in a couple of patio chairs and the 9 of us had plenty of room. The kids loved the pool and the swim area in the lake. I’m going to be back in 2 weeks and was a little sad that everything was booked.

This property had everything imaginable if you are wanting to go on a vacation especially if you're taking children. The property owners were so nice and we're willing to help you with everything. They were out side on site so you could find them anywhere and talk with them and ask questions. It was clean the cabins were cute. It offered canoeing boating the children loved the water trampoline they could not get enough of it. The playgrounds, every cabin they offer you a grill outside. I just can't say enough good about this experience.

Nice and comfy
Very nice resort. Cabin was nice, comfy and clean. Location is nice. Would highly recommend.
We were very pleased with this resort. When we arrived to our cabin, there was no stove, which was my mistake. I asked the manager if she had anything available with a stove. The place was pretty booked but she was able to get us another cabin. We were very thankful and we had a great time! The place is great for kids! My son loved the trampoline in the water! We will definitely be back!
